WORKSHOP announcement: BISP10, June 13-15, 2017, Milano, Italy

We are glad to announce the 10th international workshop on BAYESIAN INFERENCE IN STOCHASTIC PROCESSES (BISP10), that will take place at Bocconi University, Milano, Italy, on June 13-15, 2017.

The preliminary conference web page is www.unibocconi.eu/bisp10

The scientific program will feature invited and contributed sessions (from June 13, 9am, to June 15, 1pm) and a poster session on June 13, at 5:30pm - with a welcome cocktail and gathering. A social dinner is also planned on June 14.

Invited speakers include, so far, Nial Friel, Peter Mueller, Nick Polson, Ananda Sen, Mark Steel, Rebecca Steorts, Matteo Borrotti, Annalisa Cadonna, Daniele Durante, Didem Egenem, David Ginsbourger, Sara Heaps, Julia Palacios, Lorenzo Trippa, Victor Veitch, Frank Wood and Giacomo Zanella. There will be also a special session organised by Richard Wilkinson on paleoclimate problems.

Theoretical and applied contributions on Bayesian inference in stochastic processes are both welcome. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes Markov processes, temporal and spatial processes, empirical processes, birth-death and branching processes, queueing, computations and methods for complex structures, networks and relational data, signal processes, stochastic differential equations.

The 2017 edition of BISP is dedicated to Pietro Muliere, on his 70th birthday, to honour his influential research contributions to the theory and the applications of stochastic processes and Bayesian inference.

BISP10 will be preceded by a one-day conference on "Recent Developments in Bayesian Theory and Stochastic Processes", in honor of Pietro. www.unibocconi.eu/muliereconference

IMPORTANT DEADLINES:

- 15/2/2017: Abstract submission (for oral or poster presentation)

- 01/3/2017: Decision on acceptance
